Previously: Camile wakes up two days after the darned squirrel pushes her into the land of FMA. She stumbles upon an abandoned crumbling home and finds Greed from a distance. Camile, rather frightened, runs into the house and locks the door. She decides not to be scared and pretends to be a vampire and grabs a knife from the kitchen. She bursts out the door looking to fight Greed but he left a while ago. She tries to find food but is unsuccessful and tries to sleep instead, which proves more unsuccessful. Camile is met by voices not much later and stumbles upon Lust, Gluttony, and Envy. She tells her story as vampire and they surprisingly believe her. Lust tells her that they will let her stay with them, if she allows them to research on her. Back at the homunculi mansion, Dante 'gives Camile her powers back' and tells her that she will prove this by fighting Envy or Wrath. Camile makes an excuse and says she is not exactly immortal and Dante chooses Envy to be her bodyguard and keep her alive for future research. Later, Wrath and Camile antagonize Envy by keeping him up when he is trying to sleep.

After this, and maybe chapter 6 or 7 will be the last sort of 'following the plot but not really' sort of chapter(s). After that I'm putting in my new ideas because I have plans for this up to chapter 15! So I plan to make it pretty interesting. Thanks for reviews~~! I DO NOT OWN FMA OR THE CHARACTERS…ONLY THE OC's.

"Edward hold still!" The sounds of Winry's wrench and screams from Edward made everyone in the lobby stare and sometimes laugh. The latching of screws made people stare, but it was Edward's screams that made it amusing.

"That doesn't sound wrong," Wyatt mumbled to himself, grinning. Luki nudged him in the side that wasn't sore and grinned.

…"Are you sure he'll be okay?" Luki asked after a short excruciating scream.

Alphonse looked his way. "Oh yes. Winry's practically a pro, brother is just being a little wimpy," he laughed. Luki smiled and looked at Bella who was sitting across from him.

Bella just politely smiled at him and quickly looked down, blushing. She couldn't believe he was worried about her after that fall.

Some more silence ensued. Alphonse just sat there taking up an entire bench, Wyatt tapped his foot impatiently, Luki and Bella kept coyly staring at each other, and Brosh and Ross left after Armstrong and Hughes came along.

This is how the whole Armstrong conversation went when Winry was finished with his newly repaired automail arm.

"Edward Elric!" Armstrong said angrily. He gave the blond boy a warning look and ripped his shirt.

"WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING YOU DID TRYING TO TAKE ON HOMUNCULI ALL BY YOURSELF WITH YOUR BROTHER!" He sobbed and held Ed tightly, almost giving him another injury.

"Geez, Armstrong," Ed said coughing after he was released. "We won't do it again, okay?"

"You won't? I don't even have to give you a lecture?" Armstrong inquired.

Ed gave out a nervous sigh. "Um…no."

"OH WHAT A BEAUTIFU—"

Hughes walked in the perfect timing and held out his hands to Armstrong. "All right that's enough! Let's not give the boy more injuries, okay?"

Armstrong and Hughes both let out a nervous laugh. "So is Fullmetal going to stop this crazy Philosopher's thing as well?" Hughes said this while looking at Armstrong. Ed raised an eyebrow at this.

"They do realize he's like right there don't they?" Bella whispered to Luki, which almost made him jump straight into the air.

"Oh…I don't know…probably," Luki said, blushing at the proximity Bella was at.

"Oh you don't know Edward Elric don't you?" Armstrong said, still facing Hughes and with his back turned to Ed. "He's the Fullmetal Alchemist! Of course he'll still go after it and probably with his sexy automail mechanic too!" Winry had a weird look on her face after hearing this.

"What did you say about Winry?" Ed seethed. But the two men ignored him.

Hughes pondered this. "Yes, I suppose he will. But it is quite dangerous…think Mustang will let us go with him?"

"I'm RIGHT HERE!" Ed shouted. The two men finally looked at him as though nothing ever happened.

"And I'm not a kid!" Ed argued a vein threatening to poke out of his head. "Besides, I'm getting help!"

"Brother…" Al whispered.

"From us?" Armstrong and Hughes inquired. Ed shook his head. "No."

"From our old alchemy teacher in Dublith," Al continued. "She was going to teach us some skills to better our alchemy."

Hughes raised an eyebrow. "Hmm well what about Winry, your future wife? Is she going?" Winry awkwardly left the room after that.

Ed raised a fist. "WHAT!"

Hughes let out a light laugh. "Haha, joking!" Ed didn't drop the glare.

"Well if you were going to have someone assist you, then I guess it wouldn't be so bad."

Ed crossed his arms proudly, like a child winning an argument. "Glad you see it my way, colonel."

"EDWARD~!" Armstrong said strongly. "Don't forget to contact us if you need…ASSISTANCE!" He showed off his dazzling muscles with sparkles practically glowing off of them.

Ed nodded nervously. "Will do."

"I think you should talk to Winry," Bella said pointing her thumb in the way of the waiting room. "She's pretty…dazed."

Ed flinched a little and nodded. Hughes threw his arm around Ed's shoulder.

"I remember when I first met Gracia. Ah," he sighed longingly and had a faraway gleam in his eyes.

"WOULD YOU STOP!" Ed shouted. Hughes laughed and backed away from the fuming Ed. He and Armstrong soon left, leaving an awkwardly silent Al, Wyatt, Luki, and Bella in the room.

"What's a Philosopher's Stone?" Luki asked innocently, breaking the silence. Wyatt had already told him earlier but he didn't want to seem like a suspicious know-it-all.

Ed sighed and sat down on his bed. "From what I know it's a stone that contains souls…"

Luki looked at him with horrified eyes. "That's awful…" he muttered quietly. Wyatt gave him a pat on the shoulder.

"And a group called homunculi are using it to try and become human," Ed gritted his teeth. "We're trying to stop them."

"And we're also trying to get our bodies back," Al added.

"But you already have your body," Bella pointed to Edward.

"Not my arm and leg," he sighed. "But if I can just get Al's body back I'll be satisfied." Bella nodded.

"Maybe we could come with you?" Wyatt asked. "Seriously, we could help you on this journey."

Ed pouted. "It's too dangerous."

"Can't we learn alchemy?"

"I…" Ed thought for a moment. "Maybe I can't teach you…but maybe our old teacher can."

"Who is most likely going to murder us once she sees us!" Al cried out, his armor was shaking. Ed grabbed onto him.

"I know! We're going to die!" Ed screamed.

"Is she really that bad?" Bella asked, pushing the glasses Winry gave her up on her nose.

Both brothers stopped shaking a little and nodded profusely. The three gave each other weird looks.

"Well, a fierce teacher may be what we need. I know about the homunculi," Wyatt said matter-of-factly. "And frankly, they're a pain in the ass."

Ed stopped shaking. "Well, if you she allows it then it would be good having you learn alchemy. Although the military may be hounding you…"

"I don't care. I want to help."

"Then let's go to Dublith!" Al said happily.

"Oh not without me you're not." Winry walked in the room with her hands on her hips.

"Winry…" Ed said with a facepalm.

"But I want to go to Rush Valley~!" Winry chirped and swirled around.

"Alone?" Ed didn't seem too fond of the idea. Winry stopped spinning and narrowed her blue eyes on him.

"I can go with her," Bella said. They all stared at her. Luki's heart dropped a little at the thought of something happening again.

"You would?" Winry looked at her hopefully. Bella nodded half-unsure as Winry gave her a little squeal and a tight hug.

"Good, then both of you would be out of our way…" Ed grumbled to himself.

Al looked at him and if he had a body he would frown disapprovingly. "Brother, don't be rude."

"So Luki and I can learn alchemy." Wyatt crossed his arms and smiled.

Ed smiled. This was going to be fun.

~()~()~ Two days later ~()~()~

"Oh come onnnnnn!" Camile drawled throwing her head back. "It's not that hard!"

Envy gave this annoying girl a look as he spooned some more of his cereal at breakfast. Now she was going to tell him how to go shopping? Like hell he needed new clothes.

"It is for him," Lust said suddenly without looking up from her breakfast. Envy gave her a glare and nearly slammed his fist on the table.

Wrath giggled and looked up at Camile from his seat next to her. "So sissy do you want to go shopping?"

Camile was a little shocked that he asked her. Sure she wanted to! And boy was she loving the fact he called her 'sissy' from the moment she introduced herself to him. He was legit the cutest and most vicious kid she'd ever met!

"Really?" Camile said, placing a hand on her chest. This excited Camile. Lust was so nice to offer some of her clothes and honestly, there was only one dress in there that was appropriate—and Camile liked that one and that one only. Lust gave her an extra pouch of makeup to make up for the lack of clothes.

Wrath nodded and smiled. "Yep! Envy and I can take you!"

Camile felt a little sad but didn't let it show to the cutie next to her. She swore she saw Envy's knuckles pop right out as he made the tighest fist she'd ever seen.

"What? I'm not taking her shopping!" Envy shouted at Wrath. He only stared at the raging green-haired sin with innocent eyes.

Wrath shrugged. "But, Envy! It would be nice."

"You're just now figuring out I'm not nice?"

"Pleeeaaaassseee Envy?" Camile and Wrath pleaded at the same time with adorable begging faces.

Envy scoffed. "Whatever."

"Is that a yes or a no?" Camile raised a bored brow.

"Yes, whatever, if it will shut you two up," Envy growled. Camile figured he was obviously still not happy about her accidentally frying his foot while trying to control her newly given powers the night before.

"And I'll buy you some ice cream while we're out," Camile said, turning to Wrath. "Ok, Wrath?"

Wrath threw his arms in the air excitedly. "Yay~! Ice cream!"

Envy smacked his head and finished his bowl of cereal.

"I'll buy you ice cream too!" Camile said to Envy. He just glared at the table and didn't respond.

~()~()~

"Ice cream! Ice cream! Ice cream!" Wrath and Camile chanted as they walked through the streets. They were full and happy after they had their ice cream and unfortunately for Envy, they were exploiting their happiness on him.

"Do you mind?" Envy said as he covered one ear.

Wrath ignored his annoyed brother. "Where are we going?"

"Somewhere."

"Why didn't you have any ice cream?" Camile asked. Envy did want a parfait but the two were annoying him that his appetite diminished.

"Because."

"Ok."

Envy looked at her. "'Ok'?" Camile shrugged and nodded.

"Usually you beat the questions to death…but you're starting to get to the point? What the hell happened?"

"…I don't know." Camile looked really confused but decided it'd be best not to ask the irritable, androgynous-looking teen more about his statement.

Wrath took Camile's hand as they went down a couple of new sidewalks. She smiled and loved the fact that she sort of had a new brother. She was an only child and having Wrath around made her less lonely.

"…"

"…"

"…So, Envy…"

Envy sighed deeply. There she went again. He was getting tired of this brat quick. Once research was over he was going to dump her in someplace like Drachma.

"What's your favorite color?" Camile blinked.

"Why are you asking me that?" Camile just shrugged in response.

"…Ok well, uh, green I guess." Envy stared at her but quickly looked away and stared straight down the path he was heading.

Camile made a smug smirk. "I knew it~" It was so fitting for him—his name was Envy and his favorite color was green.

"My favorite color's red!" Wrath burst out suddenly.

"My favorite color's purple!" The two laughed and sighed contently. The ice cream was starting to make them a little loopy and giggly and Envy couldn't help but comment.

Envy whipped his head around. "Are you sure that ice cream wasn't spiked or something?"

Camile scoffed. "Sure, whatever." She brushed him off.

Wrath squeezed her hand and looked up at her. "What does 'spiked' mean, sissy?" He had the most adorable pout ever!

"Um, it means someone put something bad in it to make us act weird," Camile said. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure they didn't."

Wrath nodded. After a while they started giggling for no reason again and started to get really fidgety and irritate Envy even more.

"Yep, it's a fact," Envy decided. "They spiked your ice cream."

"Did you learn nothing from our nightly laughing rituals?" Camile chuckled.

"Yes—you two need to shut up when I'm trying to sleep."

"…"

"…Brother! I'm hungry!" Envy looked at Wrath who had a begging face on.

"Me too!" Camile whined while holding her stomach.

"Food! Food! Food!" The two chanted loudly.

Envy raised a hand in annoyance. "I just bought you ice cream not five minutes ago!"

Camile and Wrath both shrugged. Envy looked at the two. Of course Wrath was homunculi so he had a homunculi appetite. But then there was Camile who had a skinny build and yet she ate—so much. He remembered back to dinner where she nearly was catching up with Gluttony and he was frozen in his seat staring at her for what seemed eternity.

"Why are you such a—a" Camile spurted, frowning deeply. "A jerk?"

"I'm a lot more than a jerk," Envy replied simply.

Camile ran up to meet his face. "But I'm trying my hardest to be nice to you? Why am I so invisible?" She felt like she was about to cry in frustration.

He noticed the slight cracking in her voice and sighed. Envy stopped in his place and pinned Camile up to a tree. Both of her hands were above her head as he leaned over her casually.

He looked at her dead serious—not so irritated anymore—and fought a smirk. "You're not invisible. Trust me you're anything but invisible."

Wrath watched the two and allowed a sheepish smile overcome his face.

Camile blushed at the fact that he was this close and the position they were in. Not to mention his eyes—they were actually rather pretty to look into when he wasn't glaring or acting like an asshole all the time. No she saw something a little—sad glint from when he looked at her.

"Oh…" Was all Camile could say. She tried to avoid eye contact with him. Envy's hand gently lifted the underside of her chin that forced her to look at him.

Envy's signature smirk returned but this time was a bit more—seductive as Camile decided. He slightly ran his fingers over her cheek, making the pink on her face become fiercer.

He suddenly realized what he was doing. "Let's get something to eat after shopping."

And just like that he let go of her and kept walking as though absolutely nothing happened in the last minute.

Wrath gave her the biggest grin he could muster, but Camile just stared open mouthed as she was frozen in her spot staring at the palm tree.

"Are you coming or not?" Envy growled from a distance. Well that was short-lived.

"He's…" Camile sighed. "Moody?"

"He's different," Wrath giggled. "And seems to like you~"

Camile gave him a look that just screamed 'no' but couldn't help but blush at the words.

"He likes you!" Wrath said, rubbing his sissy's arm. "Trust me."

Camile just shook her head and continued walking. She noticed they were getting farther and farther away from the town they were in a while ago but she didn't think much of it. Maybe it just one of those speciality shops.

Camile and Wrath lost sight of Envy in leading in front of them and started to look all around. They were relieved when they saw Envy.

He was walking toward an officer, with a look to kill Camile decided. She knew this episode—he was trying to kill Hughes. Camile averted her eyes and covered them. Wrath looked at her worriedly and back at Envy.

Just as he was approaching the phone booth a freaky-looking-circus-phantom-like thing rolled off of a nearby rooftop and tackled Envy to the ground. There was a loud struggle and Camile opened her eyes reluctantly to see what was happening.

Envy nearly stabbed the phantom with his arm when Wrath charged and the phantom jumped away. Hughes was knocked unconscious from when the phantom kicked him in the head on the way down.

"Are you okay?" Camile said running to Envy and Wrath. Wrath nodded but Envy was lying on the ground, making a fist and had an evil glare on his face.

"Whoever that was, I'm going to kill them."

"Looks like he was nearly a match for you two," Camile frowned.

Envy stared at her and got up from the ground. He seemed to calm down a bit after he knew she was okay. The phantom was moving so fast that he barely saw what else happened when he got knocked on the ground. All he remembered was the phantom jumping behind his head in what he thought was Camile's direction.

Wrath immediately hugged Camile. "Don't worry, sissy, I won't let that person hurt you." Camile felt warm and fuzzy and grinned.

"Think they'll strike again?" Camile asked.

"Who knows? All I know is that they pissed me off."

Awkward silence ensued.

"So...can we go shopping now?"

Oooh~! A phantom! Envy's going to kick some serious booty when he finds this person again! All I have to say is that this 'phantom' is very important later on *SPOILER*! And that's all I will say for now. Until next time, adieu! And don't forget to review! (Hey, that rhymed! *Snicker*)
